New programming language "machin" runs 1B LLM 4x faster on laptop CPU

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a new programming language called "machin" that compiles through C and is designed for AI agents. Using this language, they successfully ran the TinyLlama-1.1B model on a laptop CPU at 20 tokens per second, outperforming a reference C implementation by four times. Key optimizations included group quantization, vector width utilization, and a specialized byte dot product function, all achieved without external libraries like BLAS or llama.cpp. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for optimized LLM inference on consumer hardware via novel language design.

RANK_REASON Developer creates a new programming language and demonstrates its performance with an LLM.
